Priced it higher than the highest sold and still sold:-(
My newly Soundsmith re-tipped Grado Ref. Sonata ($250 option) playing Cassandra Wilson and Porcupine tree. Soundsmith made this cartridge sound better than new. Brought tears to my eyes and stood my hair on end.
steve miller--recall the beginning...before his run as purveyor of mindless (tho catchy) am hits, sm was actually quite an ambitious fellow whose late 60s/early 70s records were very well conceived, flawlessly played and still sound good today. this one is something of a lost masterpiece--one side of short, melodic pop and the other a sorta spacey psychedelic suite culminating in the title track, which is awful purty. very good guitar playing throughout.

real estate--atlas...really tuneful jangly guitar pop somewhat reminiscent of early rem without the mumbling or velevet underground without the angst. real songs that stick in your head.
